As I did with Cifuentes last season, I remained neutral on the appointment, with what we have endured the last two seasons it was almost as if - ah f**k it lets see what happens - who else could we possibly have got given our predicament.
Sadly, the boards appointment is rinse and repeat, we haven't evolved as a team since Rodgers, we still play 1 up top, we still try to play possession based football with players in important areas of the pitch who cannot play that type of football, the rebuild of our club is going to take a hell of a lot longer while we have people involved in it that are only in it for business purposes or to massage their own ego.
Our recruitment this season is raising eyebrows, as others have mentioned older players on lucrative long contracts, signing unknown entities and then not utilising them either to their style of football or even at all - its abundantely obvious that our better players are products of our academy because they want to fight for the shirt.
Not impressed with Watson, despite him being one I thought would come good here, Cullen is useless, Chaplin is crocked and Burns I am not seeing anything near that he will have an impact at all. Want to see more of Howell and I would say McFarlane is probably the stand out of the players in this summer and while we still continue to play the geriatric McCarthy and Bobby 'I played in the Prem for Fulham' Reid as a false 9 (if you can call it that) I cannot see us improving. Top needs to get a grip if he is still in charge here, show the fans some respect and handle his shi*.
Russell ball doesnt work, we dont have a plan B, fans go to work all week looking forward to seeing their team win and be successful not to fail to beat newly promoted teams and get spanked in your own bank yard to Oxford.
Time to go Russell
